is this Problem still there? I think restart Steam should help

Problem went away on its own. I did not restart the game. One of the friends restarted game and Steam, the other did not, and both were able to reconnect.
What I *did* do in the meantime is join one of these friends' games before hosting another. No clue how that worked.
